Hi again! Gesendet von: snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net An: Thomas Schweikle <tschweikle () fiducia de> Kopie: <snort-users () lists sourceforge net> Thema: Re: [Snort-users] Error opening adapter...
Try doing snort -W, that should list all interfaces on the win2k box. It might be that the winpcap drivers didn't install correctly. I think they are part of the Win32 Binary. I installed the Demarc package which prompted me to install them.

Any further tests I could do?
I am unable to start Snort on my Win2K box. I'll receive an error
